TypeErgometer: speed-independent, watt-controlled – the set power stays the same regardless of pedaling cadence; exercise bike: resistance depends on speed

Form factorBasic design according to the manufacturer: upright, semi-recumbent with backrest, or folding X-bike
Upright
Recumbent (chair-style)
Resistance systemType of brake and how it is adjusted: magnetic via rotary knob (manual), magnetic via console (motorized) or induction for the finest gradation. Manufacturers also call induction ECB, eddy current or electromagnetic brake – even when “magnetic brake” is in the name; the motorized magnet is also called SMR or digital resistance. If the resistance adjusts itself during a workout (auto resistance, auto-follow, control via app), the adjustment is motorized – never “Magnetic, manual”.

Verdict
Pros & cons
Der Domyos Heimtrainer EB140 B ist ein leiser Einsteiger-Heimtrainer mit App-Steuerung: Kinomap verstellt die motorische Magnetbremse über Bluetooth FTMS selbst. Für lockere Einheiten bis 110 kg und etwa 1,80 m reicht er gut. Der Haken: Selbst auf Stufe 15 bleibt der Widerstand für Sprints zu schwach, dazu kommen ein harter Sattel und ein Rahmen, der bei schnellem Treten wackelt.
Pros
- Kinomap verstellt den Widerstand per Bluetooth FTMS automatisch
- Leiser Riemenantrieb, in Tests unter 40 dB
- Ersatzteile 10 Jahre lieferbar, Reparaturvideos zu 14 Bauteilen
- Tiefeinstieg und Q-Faktor von 20 cm schonen Knie und Hüfte
- Weitgehend vormontiert, Aufbau allein in rund 45 Minuten
- 7 Konsolenprogramme für Training ohne Tablet
Cons
- Widerstand selbst auf Stufe 15 für Sprints zu schwach
- Harter Sattel, nur in der Höhe verstellbar
- Rahmen wackelt bei hoher Trittfrequenz
- Zählfehler und Verbindungsabbrüche in den Apps
- Handsensoren liefern unzuverlässige Pulswerte
Das ProForm 325 CSX ist ein bequemes Einstiegs-Liegerad mit Rückenlehne, Haltegriffen und leiser Motorbremse in 22 Stufen. Es passt zu Einsteigern und Älteren, die gelenkschonend und locker treten wollen. Der Haken: Es gibt keine Wattsteuerung, und Bluetooth FTMS sowie Pulsprogramme laufen nur mit dem iFIT-Abo – ohne Abo trainierst du von Hand auf einem kleinen Display.
Pros
- Gepolsterter Sitz mit Rückenlehne und Haltegriffen entlastet den Rücken
- 22 motorisch verstellte Stufen mit Schnellwahltasten
- Laut Hersteller nahezu geräuschlose Magnetbremse ohne Abrieb
- Ventilator, USB-C-Buchse, Lautsprecher und Tablet-Halter an Bord
- Mit iFIT automatische Widerstandsanpassung und Export zu Strava und Garmin
- Zugelassen für Nutzer bis 136 kg
Cons
- Keine Wattsteuerung und keine Wattanzeige
- Bluetooth FTMS und Pulsprogramme nur mit kostenpflichtigem iFIT-Abo
- Keine voreingestellten Programme ab Werk
- Breiter Q-Faktor von 24,13 cm, ungünstig für empfindliche Knie
- Keine Handpulssensoren und keine Angaben zum Sitzverstellweg
